Abstract

An arthroscopic suction device which removes debris, loose fragments and contaminates from an anatomical joint space during examination and treatment. Preferably the arthroscopic suction device has a blunt, hemispherical nose 1 which enables it to be inserted directly into the joint space without the need for an obturator. The arthroscopic suction device may have a lateral vacuum port 4. The arthroscopic suction device may be attached to any standard medical vacuum source and the operator may regulate the suction by using the vacuum control port 5.

Description

Description
Arthroscopic Suction Device
Background
Surgeons performing endoscopic examination and treatment of anatomical joint spaces (arthroscopy), encounter diseased, damaged articular tissue and/or bony fragments, which require surgical repair or removal. Tissue requiring remedial repair or removal is often difficult to excise and/or remove using conventional manual or mechanical instruments. Although manual instruments are effective at cutting and trimming damaged tissue they do not completely remove debris.
Mechanical instruments are frequently used for soft tissue resection and debris removal however, their bulkiness and mechanical action can inhibit access to all joint facets and may cause inadvertent damage to articular joint surfaces.
Problem Solved A suction device which can be easily inserted and removed through soft tissue (Skin, fat, muscle, joint capsule) and into the anatomical joint space (Shoulder, Knee, Hip, Wrist, Elbow, Ankle) to evacuate debris, loose bodies or liquid contaminates (blood & bodily fluids) without causing further trauma or damage.
Essential features # Ease of insertion into and removal from the joint space # Does not cause damage during insertion, use and removal of # Facilitates access to all areas of the joint space # Attachment to medical vacuum prior to insertion # Vacuum controlled directly by operator at will # Sized and shaped to facilitate manipulation and control during use # Can be inserted and removed without use of introductory device i.e. Obturator # Can be attached to any standard medical vacuum means # Material integrity fit for purpose and able to withstand rigors of cleaning and sterilization processes
Description (continued)
Important but not essential features # Can remain attached to medical vacuum supply at all times # May remain within the joint space until required
Introduction to Drawings
Blunt hemispherical nose (Refer to 1)# facilitates easy insertion into the anatomic joint space without catching/snagging or damaging surrounding soft tissue.
The length and rigidity of the device (Refer to 2) is such that an Obturator (insertion device) is not required to facilitate insertion. The ASD can be attached directly to the vacuum means prior to insertion because an Obturator is not required.
The angle ofthe working device (Refer to 3) facilitates access to all areas of the joint. The aperture (Refer to 4) allows for maximised vacuum potential without compromising on the devices ability for easy of insertion, removal and positioning within the joint. The working length of the device (Refer to 2) is sized specifically for use within the joint. The vacuum control port (refer to point 5 on drawing) is critical to the operator for control and regulation of the suction device. It also enables the operator to leave the device insitu in the joint whilst connected to the vacuum means but not sucking through the aperture (Refer to 4). The tube connection (Refer to 6) enables connection to any medical commercially available vacuum means. Note
